Yeah, what he said! I was going to say that a full release cycle for
Perl might be as long as 3 months, thus requiring at least 3 pumpkings:
1) one to manage the release cycle;
2) one to manage new features cycle;
3) one to buy alcohol-based substances for the other two, because they
will surely need to drink heavily to put up with the grind... ;-)
